One For the Road

The other night, my partner was being a little petulant about being thirsty. We didn’t have the important bit on hand to make the drink she asked for - tequila and lime, I think it was - so, being equally petulant, I offered a snarky alternative - a ginger ale and lime. She said that would work, so I fetched a bottle of Canada Dry, and half a lime we had in the ‘fridge.

Apparently, the one soft drink that doesn’t come in a “and lime” flavour - ginger ale - is also the only soda that tastes better with lime than without. Figures, doesn’t it? One decent squirt per twenty-ounce bottle; one anaemic squirt per can or glass. It’s good.
